It was wonderful to be a part of Ruby’s bat mitzvah a few weeks ago. She is always a delight to work with and you have to love that smile.
We did a portrait session on Thursday evening and got some great photos with her family. Saturday evening friends and family dug out all their rad, classic, 80’s style clothing for a retro flashback party. Howard and Total Entertainment was there spinning some deep 80’s tunes on the dance floor and kept the room stoked all night long. It was like a totally awesome party!

Mazel tov to Sofia on becoming a bat mitzvah. I had a wonderful time working with Sofia’s family, once again. It was a busy weekend of events to cover and I think we got some wonderful photos from all of them. The weekend wrapped up with a fun party at the Crown Plaza in Plymouth. Sofia, family and friends enjoyed a high-energy evening of food, dancing and games with Howard and the Total Entertainment crew on hand. A great way to celebrate a wonderful, young lady.

Having known Vanya since he was a kindergartener, it was an honor to be asked to do some portraits in celebration of his bar mitzvah last week. He’s turning into fine, young man and I know good things are to come for him. Vanya and his family made my job easy, as you can see. Here are just a few of my favorites from the session. Enjoy!

Had a wonderful time helping Miles celebrate his bar mitzvah. He’s grown a bit since I last saw him a few years ago, and is turning into a fine young man. We did portraits early in the week and then Saturday night it was casino time at the Metropolitan Club. Great food, casino games and Total Entertainment was hand to spin some tunes and jazz the place up. It was quite the weekend for Miles.

Zander’s bar mitzvah was a wonderful affair. It was so nice to work with his family again, capturing all the special moments of his big weekend. We did portraits early Saturday morning and then I photographed the service. Zander did an amazing job reading Torah. Then is was time to party on Saturday evening in pure Minnesota Vikings style. Oak Ridge Country Club was all decked out in purple and gold by Amy Zaroff + Events. The place looked fantastic, just as Zander and his family did. It was a busy evening with the A-List crew on the dance floor and a fun appearance by the Viking cheerleaders and Victor, the Vikings mascot. Great food, Dancing and more. It was a night that Zander will not forget. Skol! Zander!
